Clinton Urges Diplomacy For Iran

(AP) Former U.S. President Bill Clinton urged the Bush administration Thursday to stick to diplomacy to get Iran to abandon its nuclear program, which the United States and other countries fear is part of a plan to make nuclear weapons.

Clinton also said that even if Iran developed such weapons, it would find it tough to use them.

"If they ever use them, they'll be toast," the former U.S. president said in a freewheeling, 90-minute appearance at the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum.
...
"We ought to give a vigorous push to diplomacy. We must exhaust all reasonable diplomatic activities," said Clinton.

2. when asked about troops he said

they wouldn't be needed if there was just a
strike against one site, but only if Iran struck
back...

There are 350 sites...not one and it would
be WW3 if we bombed them.

7. If Clinton is venturing this, then he's already gamed it out thoroughly.

Seymour Hersh (and his sources) have apparently succeeded in making it possible to put the kibosh on President aWol's Strategic Blunder #2.
